Sinner You’d Better Get Ready

    C             F          G7
Oh, sinner, you’d better get ready,
                               G      Am
Sinner you’d better get ready, hallelujah.
G7  C            F          G7 Am
Oh, sinner you’d better get ready,
F       C       F               G7          C
For the time is coming that the sinner must die.

   F          C	     F C      G7
Oh sinner man you had better pray,
C       F               G7          C
Time is coming that the sinner must die;
       F                           C    Am
For it looks like Judgement every day.
C        F              G7          C
Time is coming that the sinner must die;


I heard a lumbering in the sky,
Time is coming that the sinner must die;
That makes me think my time was nigh.
For the time is coming that the sinner must die.


Oh God gave Noah the rainbow sign,
The time is coming when the sinner must die.
It won’t be the water before next time,
The time’s a coming when the sinner must die.


I thought I heard all the preachers say,
"The time’s a coming when the sinner must die."
You better get down on your knees and pray,
The time’s a coming when the sinner must die.
